Think of some of your favorite singers. When you listen, they can make you happy or sad, peaceful or angry. They can make you relax or want to get up and dance. Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many ways — emotionally, physically and mentally.
But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one. It takes practice, devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera（歌剧）star Carol Vaness.
At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when she’s singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes.
“When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater, ” Carol explains. “You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”
According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s a lot softer. When I sing for children, they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears — like waves on a beach, ” Carol says. “In opera, the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth — it vibrates in your chest, the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played.”
Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voice – the highest singing voice for women.
Carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them. The stories of opera can be tragic or comical. They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing, the emotions(情感) expressed by words and music come to life.
Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has song for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace.
“Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it,” says Carol, “because singing is a great joy. That’s why I sing. In fact, that’s why everybody sings.”
56.Which statement about the Metropolitan Opera in New York City is right?
A. can seat 4,000 people B. is a two-story building
C. has many microphones in it D. can project the singer’s voice
57.What is the best title for this passage?
A. Opera Singing and Pop Singing B. The Way an Opera Star Sings
D. Singing without a Microphone D. An Opera Star
58.Which statement is not false?
A. A pop singer breathes more deeply than an opera singer when he or she sings.
B. Opera singer is more louder than popular..
C. A pop singer takes in much more air than an opera singer when singing.
D. An opera singer breathes differently from a pop singer when singing.
59.From the passage you can conclude all the following EXCEPT that _____.
A. Carol once learned to play the piano
B. Carol worked as a music teacher
C. Carol has been singing opera for 20 years or so
D. Carol is popular with Americans and Europeans
60.The sentence “Put your heart into your singing” in the last paragraph means “_____”.
A. devoting yourself to singing B. taking trouble to sing
C. paying attention to singing. D. trying your best to sing
B
Dorothea Dix left home at an early age—of her own free will—to live with her grandmother.
At fourteen, Dorothea was teaching school at Worcester, Massachusetts. A short time after she had begun teaching, she set up a school for young girls in her grandparents’ home. Stress was placed on moral character at Dorothea’s school, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.
She was forced to give up teaching at her grandparents’ home, however, when she became ill a few years of inactivity followed.
In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the East Cambridge, Massachusetts prison. Here she first came upon insane people (精神病人) locked up together with prisoners.
In those days insane people were treated even worse than prisoners. There were only a few madhouses in the entire country. Therefore prisons, poor houses, and houses of correction were used to keep the insane.
Dorothea Dix made a careful investigation of the inhuman treatment of the insane. It was considered unfeminine (不适合) for a woman to devote herself to such work at this time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix from providing proper medical care for the insane.
Gradually, because of her investigations, conditions were improved. More than thirty mental institutions were founded or rebuilt in the United States because of her hard work. Dorothea also spread her investigations to England and to other parts of Europe.
During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent (负责) of women hospital nurses in the Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work of improving conditions for insane people.

Are you a big fan of pirate（海盗） stories? Do you know how to talk like a pirate? You can have fun on September 19th. This special holiday is called International Talk Like A Pirate Day. It was invented in 1995 by two young Americans, John Baur and Mark Summers.
These two good friends came up with this idea when they were playing racquetball, and began to talk like pirates. At that moment, they thought, “Young people are interested in pirate. But there is no such a chance for people to get together to share it. Why not have a day when everybody talks like a pirate?” They decided to make September 19th the date. Since then, Baur and Summers have tried hard to promote Talk Like A Pirate Day. As Baur said, “We've talked like pirates, and encouraged several of our friends to do so every September 19th.”
At first, this day was only known by a few people. In 2002, Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to Dave Barry. This columnist（专栏作家）really liked their idea. He promoted the holiday and made it known to more and more people. Now, it has really become an international holiday. On Talk Like A Pirate Day, you need to dress like a pirate. You should wear a big hat or maybe cover one of your eyes. You can pretend to be any kind of pirate that you can find in any story or movie. 21世纪教育网
Having fun and being relaxed are not the only best things about the holiday. Young people share the same interest and childhood dreams that day. That's why it is welcomed by so many people, especially young people.

Because of Baur and Summers' imagination and creativity, thousands of young people's pirate dream come true. Next time, when you have a good idea, why not share it with your fiends and insist on your belief? Maybe you can create another wonderful holiday for the youth in the future.

第四部分：写作（共两节，满分45分）
第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后面的要求答题.（请注意问题后的字数要求）
Modern life is a lot les s to the advantage of friendships and neighborliness than it used to be. The average American moves every five years. People drive straight into their garages, hire lawn services, hang out in their backyards instead of their front porches (前走廊). These days, neighbors don't even know each other's names.
Good neighbors and good friends are a lot like electricity or running water: We don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. In fact, the authors of a recent book, Refrigerator Rights, claim that refrigerators are signs of close relationships--after all, you wouldn't snatch a drumstick(鸡腿) from the refrigerator of a stranger.
The surprising thing is that all it takes to strengthen your relationship with friends and neighbors is respect for their feelings, concern for their property, and a helping hand when it's needed. Here's how to develop your relationships with two types of vitally important people in your life.
_________________. A true friend doesn't flee when changes occur. The sign of a good friend is one who stays true through it all--marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes, the losses. Just because situations change doesn't mean the person has to.
Friendships fade away if there isn't an balance between the give and the take. So make sure you aren't being a burden to your friends. Be sensitive to how much your friend can and can't offer you--be it time, energy, or help -- and don't step over the line. Meanwhile, friendships that drain(耗尽) you will not last. If a friendship is out of balance in this way, you'll need to talk the situation through.
76. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
A true friend will stay the same even when the situations change.
?
77. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with a proper sentence. (Within 10 words)
?
78. What advice is given in the last paragraph? (Within 10 words)
?
79. What do you think the author will go on talking about if the passage continues?(Within 10 words)
?
80. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese．

W: I understand how you feel, sir. But there simply isn’t any room. The person who received your reservation call must have forgotten to write it down. I’m afraid it was just a mistake. She is new, you know.
M: Just a mistake? Do you realize that I’ve invited some very important people to dinner? It could cause me to lose an important business partner.
W: I’m sorry, sir. I suggest you call them and explain the problem. I’m sure you’ll find several other very good restaurants around here.
M: I can’t get in touch with them now. They are probably on their way at this very minute. Surely you could fit one more table in.
W: Not unless you’d like me to put you in the hall, sir.
M: Well, that’s better than nothing.

W: Jim, thank goodness, you’ve arrived! The class presentation started half an hour ago, and I was
just beginning to panic.
M: I’m sorry I’m late, Ellen. I was out of luck this morning. I didn’t think I was going to make it
here at all.
W: Why are you so late? Our whole presentation depends on those graphs you’re holding.
M: Yes, I know. I’ll tell you about it later. First let’s see... Two groups are still ahead of us, aren’t
they? That means I’ve got about twenty minutes to rest.
W: You do look tired. What happened?
M: I’ve been standing outside for over an hour waiting for a bus.
W: Over an hour! I thought your apartment was only a ten-minute bus ride to school.
M: Under the normal condition, yes, but the bus was delayed. And when I went to call home for a
ride, the bus passed by. Unfortunately, there was no one at home. So I had to wait another
forty-five minutes for the next bus.
W: Just out of luck! Well, we’d better stop talking. People are turning around and looking at us.

Think of some of your favorite singers. When you listen, they can make you happy or sad, peaceful or angry. They can make you relax or want to get up and dance. Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many ways — emotionally, physically and mentally.
But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one. It takes practice, devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera（歌剧）star Carol Vaness.
At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when she’s singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes.
“When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater, ” Carol explains. “You have to take a lot of air into your lungs.”
According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s a lot softer. When I sing for children, they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears — like waves on a beach, ” Carol says. “In opera, the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth — it vibrates in your chest, the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played.”
Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voice – the highest singing voice for women.
Carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them. The stories of opera can be tragic or comical. They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing, the emotions(情感) expressed by words and music come to life.
Today, Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has song for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace.
“Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it,” says Carol, “because singing is a great joy. That’s why I sing. In fact, that’s why everybody sings.”
56.Which statement about the Metropolitan Opera in New York City is right?
A. can seat 4,000 people B. is a two-story building
C. has many microphones in it D. can project the singer’s voice
57.What is the best title for this passage?
A. Opera Singing and Pop Singing B. The Way an Opera Star Sings
D. Singing without a Microphone D. An Opera Star
58.Which statement is not false?
A. A pop singer breathes more deeply than an opera singer when he or she sings.
B. Opera singer is more louder than popular..
C. A pop singer takes in much more air than an opera singer when singing.
D. An opera singer breathes differently from a pop singer when singing.
59.From the passage you can conclude all the following EXCEPT that _____.
A. Carol once learned to play the piano
B. Carol worked as a music teacher
C. Carol has been singing opera for 20 years or so
D. Carol is popular with Americans and Europeans
60.The sentence “Put your heart into your singing” in the last paragraph means “_____”.
A. devoting yourself to singing B. taking trouble to sing
C. paying attention to singing. D. trying your best to sing
B
Dorothea Dix left home at an early age—of her own free will—to live with her grandmother.
At fourteen, Dorothea was teaching school at Worcester, Massachusetts. A short time after she had begun teaching, she set up a school for young girls in her grandparents’ home. Stress was placed on moral character at Dorothea’s school, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.
She was forced to give up teaching at her grandparents’ home, however, when she became ill a few years of inactivity followed.
In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the East Cambridge, Massachusetts prison. Here she first came upon insane people (精神病人) locked up together with prisoners.
In those days insane people were treated even worse than prisoners. There were only a few madhouses in the entire country. Therefore prisons, poor houses, and houses of correction were used to keep the insane.
Dorothea Dix made a careful investigation of the inhuman treatment of the insane. It was considered unfeminine (不适合) for a woman to devote herself to such work at this time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix from providing proper medical care for the insane.
Gradually, because of her investigations, conditions were improved. More than thirty mental institutions were founded or rebuilt in the United States because of her hard work. Dorothea also spread her investigations to England and to other parts of Europe.
During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent (负责) of women hospital nurses in the Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work of improving conditions for insane people.

Are you a big fan of pirate（海盗） stories? Do you know how to talk like a pirate? You can have fun on September 19th. This special holiday is called International Talk Like A Pirate Day. It was invented in 1995 by two young Americans, John Baur and Mark Summers.
These two good friends came up with this idea when they were playing racquetball, and began to talk like pirates. At that moment, they thought, “Young people are interested in pirate. But there is no such a chance for people to get together to share it. Why not have a day when everybody talks like a pirate?” They decided to make September 19th the date. Since then, Baur and Summers have tried hard to promote Talk Like A Pirate Day. As Baur said, “We've talked like pirates, and encouraged several of our friends to do so every September 19th.”
At first, this day was only known by a few people. In 2002, Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to Dave Barry. This columnist（专栏作家）really liked their idea. He promoted the holiday and made it known to more and more people. Now, it has really become an international holiday. On Talk Like A Pirate Day, you need to dress like a pirate. You should wear a big hat or maybe cover one of your eyes. You can pretend to be any kind of pirate that you can find in any story or movie. 21世纪教育网
Having fun and being relaxed are not the only best things about the holiday. Young people share the same interest and childhood dreams that day. That's why it is welcomed by so many people, especially young people.
Unlike traditional holidays, International Talk Like A Pirate Day is a brand new holiday which is invented by the youth themselves and celebrated by themselves too. Because of Baur and Summers' imagination and creativity, thousands of young people's pirate dream come true. Next time, when you have a good idea, why not share it with your fiends and insist on your belief? Maybe you can create another wonderful holiday for the youth in the future.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后面的要求答题.（请注意问题后的字数要求）
Modern life is a lot les s to the advantage of friendships and neighborliness than it used to be. The average American moves every five years. People drive straight into their garages, hire lawn services, hang out in their backyards instead of their front porches (前走廊). These days, neighbors don't even know each other's names.
Good neighbors and good friends are a lot like electricity or running water: We don't know how much we depend on them until we don't have them. In fact, the authors of a recent book, Refrigerator Rights, claim that refrigerators are signs of close relationships--after all, you wouldn't snatch a drumstick(鸡腿) from the refrigerator of a stranger.
The surprising thing is that all it takes to strengthen your relationship with friends and neighbors is respect for their feelings, concern for their property, and a helping hand when it's needed. Here's how to develop your relationships with two types of vitally important people in your life.
_________________. A true friend doesn't flee when changes occur. The sign of a good friend is one who stays true through it all--marriage, parenthood, new jobs, new homes, the losses. Just because situations change doesn't mean the person has to.
Friendships fade away if there isn't an balance between the give and the take. So make sure you aren't being a burden to your friends. Be sensitive to how much your friend can and can't offer you--be it time, energy, or help -- and don't step over the line. Meanwhile, friendships that drain(耗尽) you will not last. If a friendship is out of balance in this way, you'll need to talk the situation through.
76. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
A true friend will stay the same even when the situations change.
?
77. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with a proper sentence. (Within 10 words)

78. What advice is given in the last paragraph? (Within 10 words)

W: Oh no! I’ve just declined Mary’s invitation! Anyway, I guess we’ll have to put off the meeting until later.

W: Did you see Betty today?
M: Yes. When I went to the bank this morning, we happened to meet outside. She said she was going to the post office. Why?
W: We agreed to meet in the school café at 3 p.m., but she hasn’t turned up yet.

M: I’m so worried I’m going to do the wrong thing.
W: Just take it easy, Jimmy. I’m sure everything will be fine.
M: I hope so. I need the job.
W: When you meet the boss, the most important thing is to look him in the eye, smile, and shake
hands.

M: Let’s take a coffee break, shall we?
W: I wish I could, but I can’t.
M: What keeps you so busy??You’ve been sitting there for hours.?You’ve got to walk around.?You can’t just stay on computer forever.
W: Well, I’m up to my neck in work.?I’ve got to finish this report.?Sarah needs it by noon.?I don’t want to be scolded if I can’t finish my work by the deadline.
M: I understand that, but you’d feel better if you took a break, even for just a short while. Then you’re sure to work more efficiently.

W: Now Mr. Hardy, has the situation changed since last night?
M: No. Mrs. Hamilton is still refusing to talk to us. We’d like her to come out peacefully. The police don’t want to charge her, but …
W: Well, it’s her home.
M: But nobody else refused to move. You see, we’re going to build over 300 flats in this area in place of the shabby houses. Families are expecting to move into them next year! It’s all being delayed because of one person!
W: But Mrs. Hamilton was born in that house.
M: Of course. But we have promised to give her a modern flat immediately, a very nice flat for an elderly person living alone.
W: So, what will happen next?
M: I don’t know, but we can’t wait forever. The police will have to do something soon.

W: I understand how you feel, sir. But there simply isn’t any room. The person who received your reservation call must have forgotten to write it down. I’m afraid it was just a mistake. She is new, you know.
M: Just a mistake? Do you realize that I’ve invited some very important people to dinner? It could cause me to lose an important business partner.
W: I’m sorry, sir. I suggest you call them and explain the problem. I’m sure you’ll find several other very good restaurants around here.
M: I can’t get in touch with them now. They are probably on their way at this very minute. Surely you could fit one more table in.
W: Not unless you’d like me to put you in the hall, sir.
M: Well, that’s better than nothing.

W: Jim, thank goodness, you’ve arrived! The class presentation started half an hour ago, and I was
just beginning to panic.
M: I’m sorry I’m late, Ellen. I was out of luck this morning. I didn’t think I was going to make it
here at all.
W: Why are you so late? Our whole presentation depends on those graphs you’re holding.
M: Yes, I know. I’ll tell you about it later. First let’s see... Two groups are still ahead of us, aren’t
they? That means I’ve got about twenty minutes to rest.
W: You do look tired. What happened?
M: I’ve been standing outside for over an hour waiting for a bus.
W: Over an hour! I thought your apartment was only a ten-minute bus ride to school.
M: Under the normal condition, yes, but the bus was delayed. And when I went to call home for a
ride, the bus passed by. Unfortunately, there was no one at home. So I had to wait another
forty-five minutes for the next bus.
W: Just out of luck! Well, we’d better stop talking. People are turning around and looking at us.
